Date Time Picker - setting the date and time of opening

Question

I use this great little date and time to select [ http://trentrichardson.com/examples/timepicker/ ]. How to set the date and time when the collector opens?

Answer 1

If you use this on a form, install it from hidden input.

$(document).ready(function () { $("#Date").datetimepicker({ ampm: true }); var date = new Date( Date.parse( $('#DatePicker').val(), "mm/dd/yyyy hh:MM tt" ) ); $('#Date').datetimepicker('setDate', date); }); 

HTML form:

 <input type="hidden" id="DatePicker" /> <input type="text" id="DatePicker" value="fromyourdatabase" /> 

Answer 2

try it

 $('#dtpkr').datetimepicker(); 

Then add

 $('#dtpkr').datetimepicker('setDate', (new Date())); 

This will give you the current date and time.

Answer 3

You can pass a Date object to setDate .

 $('#datetimepicker').datetimepicker().click(function() { $(this).datetimepicker('setDate',new Date(2011, 11, 20, 8, 30)); });

Answer 4

Try setting the value attribute inside the input element as follows:

 <input id="example1" value="05/05/2011" /> 

Answer 5

Just focus it.

 $('#totTb').datetimepicker({ timeFormat: 'HH:mm', timeSuffix: " Z" }).focus(function () { $('#totTb').datetimepicker('setDate', d) });
